Thread: Solstice, December 28, 2008

Glad to hear you had a good time, Sharon. Sorry you missed all the drama, but the good news is that your Voyager thread appears free and clear. It won't be long until they start wondering why it is so quiet and what happened to YKW's incessant posts, or not.

Meanwhile, I'm thrilled to see the gang is gathering here. Convince a few more to show up, and it won't be long until this feels like home.

Welcome all you new ones! If you should need any help with anything, please just holler. We are pleased to have you here and please only invite your nice friends.

I think I am here or are we in never never land??

Sharon, welcome back glad you had a great time.

Hey y'all! Welcome to our friendly cruise community!

Someone asked about frubals......

Here is your explanation of Frubals

Frubals

Have you ever heard the phrase 'instant karma'? Frubals (sometimes known as 'reputation') are a very close equivalent. Let's say, for example, you see a post that you really like. You can validate that person by clicking on the little scale icon that appears in that post. (It's toward the right-hand side, up top)

A pop-up message will come up, asking what you thought of the post and will have a blank space where you can write your thoughts on that post. The other member will have it noted in their "User CP" that someone thought that that post was worth frubals, and if you enclosed a note, that will appear next to the notation.

Click on User CP -- scroll down a bit and you will see how much reputation (how many frubals) you have and who gave them to you, along with their personal message. It will display the last 20 posters who have sent you frubals.

Scroll a tiny bit more and you will see how many you can give (reputation power). The number of frubals you can send each time is based on how much "reputation" you have acquired.

The message you get in your Private Messages box is the canned one that automatically goes out when someone sends frubals. The "real" message is on the User CP page

The more you get, the more you can give, but you have to have made 50 posts on the boards yourself before your frubals have any value to someone else.

50 posts?!?!?! Well c'mon guys, we've got a lot of work to do & a lot of ground to cover!

Thank you, Hanna & Charlene, for the Welcome. I know we're all gonna love it here!

Hi SheryLL. Glad to see you made it. I would prefer to call this "Never Again Land."

Anyone else?

Thanks Hanna and Char for the welcome and explanation. Hey LL, Cindy and welcome back Sharon!

Thanks Ed for starting this RC. What part of Edmonton are your friends from Cindy? You'll have to talk them into chatting online sometime!
